Tomato Soup

This is a way to feed something nutritious to my kids, as they like soups very much. I do always regularly make this soup, as it is hassle free and healthy too. The cooking time is not much and you can add (or remove ) more heathier options too to it, as per your taste.
In the original recipe their was one small potato too, which i omitted (as i felt i would only add to thickness and not nutrition..:) ).

Ingredients:

4 big ripe tomatoes
1 medium carrot
1 medium sized onion
2 bay leaves
4 cloves
i inch cinnamon stick
5 6 black pepper
2 vegetable stock cubes(optional)
Salt,sugar and Pepper as per taste

Method:

Boil tomatoes,carrot and onion along with all spices in the pressure cooker and when it cools down, put it in a blender and puree it.
Strain it through a seive, to get a smooth pulp.
Put this tomato puree in a pan and allow it to boil for a couple of minutes. Add stock cubes, mix water to get desired cosistency(almost 2 cups)
Add salt,sugar and pepper as per taste.
Garnish with bread crums or cheese.
Serve hot.

Note:If u are having fresh vegetable stock, we can add it instead of water and stock cubes.
